Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388 -388: Making Money by Selling Food

Seeing Lu Hao nod at her, Su Jin said to Xing Taian, “My price is 20 Crystal Cores, for one jin of rice or flour.”

What?

Xing Taian was stunned on the spot. Had he heard wrong?

20 Crystal Cores could be exchanged for one jin of grain?

And it’s rice or flour, not unprocessed rice or wheat?

“Miss, are you serious?”

Yan Gang was also taken aback. If they really could make the purchase, they wouldn’t have to risk their lives going to those swindling bases, and fewer of their teammates might die.

“It’s true, you can start counting the Crystal Cores.”

Su Jin said with a smile, exchanging the food in their storage space for Crystal Cores was her ultimate goal, and she couldn’t believe such a good thing was happened to them.

Xing Taian also came to his senses and shouted to Yan Gang, “Hurry, hurry, call the brothers to start counting the Crystal Cores.”

“Excuse me, how much grain do you have available to sell to us?” Xing Taian asked.

“You should be able to exchange as much grain as you have Crystal Cores.”

Su Jin used the word “should,” fearing that being too definite would scare the other party.

However, Xing Taian was clearly still shocked; he thought it would be impressive if they could purchase a few dozen jin of grain.

“You…”

He wanted to ask how they came to possess so much grain.

“We used to run a grain and oil market before the Apocalypse, and we collected some more along the way afterward,”

Lu Hao lied without a moment’s hesitation.

“I see, a grain and oil market is great!”

Xing Taian didn’t ask further. A grain and oil market was a big place; with additional grain storage, it made sense they had lots of grain.

Yan Gang quickly returned with more than a dozen teammates.

Although there were some villagers in the other parts of the village who would go out to kill Zombies during the day, Yan Gang had been instructed by Xing Taian to keep this matter quiet, so he only summoned the comrades from the yard.

“Captain!”

A dozen young men, thin to the point of emaciation, entered. They were astonished to see several boxes of Crystal Cores on the ground. What was the captain planning to do?

“Alright, everyone’s here, let’s start counting the Crystal Cores,”

Xing Taian said while counting.

The men looked at each other in confusion.

Why count the Crystal Cores now? And who were this man and woman?

Yan Gang repeated what they had discussed earlier, and the dozen or so people all looked at the man and woman with surprise.

They could buy grain?

Could these two be swindlers?

Or perhaps they were selling at a very high price?

But it would be understandable if Yan Gang had been deceived, surely the captain wouldn’t be foolish enough to be tricked, right?

With that thought, the dozen or so people began counting with reassured hearts.

Soon, the entire room echoed with the sound of counting, “1, 2, 3, 4…”

To save time, Su Jin and Lu Hao also began counting.

Finally, after tallying up everyone’s count, the entire room was in shock—they had over 34,000 Crystal Cores?!

When had they managed to accumulate so many Crystal Cores?!

“It’s not surprising. The younger people in the village had found Ordinary Crystal Cores before, and they all donated them to us without compensation. Add to that the ones we get daily and the last Zombie Tide, it adds up,”

Xing Taian thought for a moment and then said, after which he looked eagerly at Su Jin and Lu Hao.

34,000 Crystal Cores meant 1,500 jin of grain. Would they be willing to sell that much?

“Cough cough, we have just about enough. We even have some spare chicken eggs, do you want some?” _{freēwebnovel.com}
